If someone can help walk me through one of these I will be able to repeat this process for several other video sites. I will happily share my work back here for everyone to use and to possibly be committed to the module.

Thanks for the feedback blackdog. I only have a small group of users, with a separate role on the site, who would be going off the beaten path for these video sites, but I would like to support them. What do you think my best option is then?

If the module maintainer(s) wish to integrate these with the parent module, they are welcome to. Seems to take a long time for this to happen, so in the meantime, my modules are useful/usable (and they solve the two issues posted as part of this issue, rather than just the TED issue).

One of the reasons that I didn't add them as patches was that I was using them as part of my project application review for getting full project creation rights.

Well like I say, the code is there now, and I have no problem with video_filter maintainers adding it to video_filter. Just means if they don't have time to do it, it's still usuable in the short term.
